The validation of the Italian version of Linehan (1983) Reasons For Living Inventory (RFL) is presented. The sample in this study was made up of 532 participants (26-65 years old), from various Italian regions. Part of the sample also completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Hoplesness Scale (BHS). The six-factor structure reported by Linehan was reproduced using confirmatory factor analysis. The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated indices. In order to evaluate convergent validity, correlations were calculated among the six factors of the RFL and the scales BDI and BHS. The correlations with BDI and BHS support the convergent validity of the Italian version of the RFL Inventory.

Abstract
The validation of the Italian version of Linehan (1983) Reasons For Living Inventory (RFL) is presented. The sample in this study was made up of 532 participants (26-65 years old), from various Italian regions. Part of the sample also completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Hoplesness Scale (BHS). The six-factor structure reported by Linehan was reproduced using confirmatory factor analysis. The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated indices. In order to evaluate convergent validity, correlations were calculated among the six factors of the RFL and the scales BDI and BHS. The correlations with BDI and BHS support the convergent validity of the Italian version of the RFL Inventory.Pubblicazioni consigliate
